==Biography==
On October 8, 2008, Freese announced that the second North American leg of the [[Lights In The Sky Tour]] would be his last with NIN. In a 2021 podcast interview[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VeAsMFl1HKk], Freese revealed that he left the band due to family obligations.
In 2025, in the middle of the [[Peel It BackTour]] tour, it was announced that Freese would be returning after Ilan Rubin left to join the Foo Fighters (who had fired Freese the same year).
Freese currently lives in southern California with his wife and four children.
